hi
my engine case paint has chiped/flaked off in a few places, i want to touch up the affected areas before it gets any worse, but i don`t know what paint to get or where from, my warranty has run out and any help would be grateful

Same trouble here mate, Contact yamaha manufacturer and buy there paint kit. Tell them which bike you have and there,ll sent you the prima and paint and a few other bits and bobs they say you,ll need to do a proper job.
Cost = A painfull �75. But it is an exact match. Lots of patience and time needed.

contacted yamaha uk, had letter back telling me to contact RS paints

Hi , did you have any luck with RS Paints? and if so do you have a final cost and reference number. My paint looks really poor, breaks my heart

the phone number is 01226 203608, just phone them and tell them you need some paint to touchup your bikes engine, give them the make,model,year, the person i spoke to was very helpful (can`t remember his name!).
the paint comes in a small bottle (30ml), with a small brush fixed to the screw top (the next size up is half a litre or a 400ml aerosol, which is to much for me).
i ordered the paint, primer and laquer (which also come in the same size small bottles), they are �6.00 each. with vat and p+p it cost me �30. ordered it on a monday evening arrived wednesday, the paint is quite a good match, just don`t try and rush it as i did on my first go.
